Description

In video compression system, carry out the method and the relevant apparatus of moltion estimation
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and relevant apparatus that a video compression system carries out moltion estimation that be used for, the cost function that particularly a kind of use is different from known technology carries out the method and the relevant apparatus of moltion estimation.
Technical background
In recent years, the multimedia technology vigorous growth, and, have more and more multiple video compression standard to be suggested successively along with Development of Multimedia Technology.For instance, the MPEG technology of various version promptly is to be used for storing and the compression standard of transmitting video data with digital form.Then also have ITU H.261, H.263 and ISO 10918 or the like as for other video compression standard.
The international video standard that MPEG proposed has defined a kind of specification that is used for compressed digital video.Dynamic video is made up of a series of picture (picture), and each picture can be regarded the two-dimensional array of being made up of many pixels (pixel) as, and each picture can also be called a single frame (frame) in the dynamic video.And in the international video standard that MPEG proposed, be to have defined four kinds of different types of pictures, be respectively: the I picture, not encoding with reference to other picture draws; The P picture, with reference to before I picture or P picture, encoding via moltion estimation (motion estimation) draws; The B picture, with reference to before and I picture afterwards or P picture, encoding via moltion estimation draws; And the D picture, search among the pattern (fast forward search mode) before being used in fast.
And the video compression system that uses above-mentioned various international video standards all can use usually based on the block (block) or the moltion estimation technology of macro zone block (macroblock), to eliminate temporal repeatability (temporal redundancy).When carrying out moltion estimation, for the current encoder block in the present picture (current picture), video compression system can be found out a most identical block (bestmatching block) the most similar to this current encoder block from a target picture (target picture).This moment is for the current encoder block, video compression system only need store motion vector (motion vector) and the residual value (residual) that (or transmission) calculates, and can represent the information (residual value is the difference situation that is used for representing pixel value between current encoder block and the most identical block) that is comprised in this current encoder block.
And in known technology; when the video compression system desire is looked for one during identical block in a Search Area (search range); usually can use the cost function (cost function) of a kind of being called " antipode summation " (sum ofabsolute difference), as shown below:
SAD ( x , y ) = Σ i = i 0 i 1 Σ j = j 0 j 1 | C i , j - P i + x , j + y |
Wherein, (x is an interior candidate motion vector of Search Area y), (i1-i0) * (j1-j0) is the size of current encoder block, C I, jBe the pixel in the current encoder block, P I+x, j+yIt then is the pixel in the Search Area in the target picture.
The video compression system of known technology can be from Search Area, find out one can so that above-mentioned cost function reach minimum value a candidate motion vector (x, y), as the suitableeest motion vector of current encoder block (x1, y1).Such practice mainly is in order to find out the most identical block with Minimum Residual residual value, can to make thus to reach compression degree preferably for residual value.But the suitableeest motion vector (x1 that finds out with said method, y1) but may not be certain to reach compression degree preferably, so U.S. the 5th, 847, No. 776 patent case has proposed another kind of cost function, in seeking the process of the suitableeest motion vector, except considering above-mentioned antipode summation, also list the size of motion vector in consideration, can between the suitableeest motion vector of finding out and corresponding residual value, average out thus.
Yet, a variety of video compression systems are arranged when residual value is compressed, discrete cosine transform is used in the capital, and (residual value that will be positioned at space field (spatialdomain) is converted to frequency field (frequency domain) for discrete cosine transform, algorithm DCT).Use corresponding quantization matrix (quantization matrix) then and can carry out the quantification program to the residual value that is positioned at frequency field with quantization step (quantization step) Qp of selected bit rate (bit rate) change of system.Because the matrix after quantizing is a two-dimensional matrix, so the 2-D data that system also can use the saw chi to scan (zig-zagscan) or the staggered mode that scans (alternate scan) after will quantizing is scanned into the data of one dimension, carries out the computing of variable length code (Variable length coding) at last again.
When carrying out the computing of variable length code, if it is more little to be positioned at the frequency distribution scope of residual value of frequency field, the code length (code length) of the coding residual value of coming out usually will short more (this have also just represented for residual value and has reached compression degree preferably) at last.But be to use the method that patent case proposed of No. the 5th, 847,776, the known technology or the U.S., the way that has that the most identical block of being found out loses makes the residual value that is positioned at frequency field have little frequency distribution scope.Even the most identical block of finding out this moment can be so that the residual value on the space field has minimum antipode summation, but scan after the computing of (or other the mode that scans) and variable length code or the like through discrete cosine transform, quantification program, saw chi, resulting residual value but may not be certain to have the shortest code length, so may not be certain the compression effectiveness that can reach best.This is the subject matter that known technology faces.
Summary of the invention

See also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the embodiment flow chart of method proposed by the invention.Method proposed by the invention can be used in the video compression system, and to carry out moltion estimation, this video compression system is divided into a plurality of blocks with a present picture.Each step among the figure one below will be described in detail in detail:
Step 110: for the current encoder block in this present picture, (x, y), wherein this current encoder block includes (i1-i0) * (j1-j0) individual pixel progressively to inspect the interior a plurality of candidate motion vectors of a Search Area.
Step 120: (x y), calculates following cost function for each candidate motion vector
CF ( x , y ) = Σ i = i 0 i 1 Σ j = j 0 j 1 { | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | + h ( Qp , C i , j , P i + x , j + y ) }
Wherein, C I, jBe the pixel in this current encoder block, P I+x, j+yBe the pixel in this Search Area in the target picture, Qp then is a quantization step (quantization step).
Step 130: with can make in this Search Area this cost function draw minimum value candidate motion vector (x, y) be made as this current encoder block the suitableeest motion vector (x1, y1).
The employed method of method of the present invention and known technology has the difference of a maximum, be exactly the employed cost function of the inventive method not only considered the antipode summation (promptly | C I, j-P I+x, j+y|), also considered that the item that is relevant to quantization step Qp and antipode summation distribution scenario (is h (Qp, C I, j, P I+x, j+y)).
For instance, function h (Qp, C I, j-P I+x, j+y) can be expressed as K * f (Qp) * g (| C I, j-P I+x, j+y|), and K is a constant, function f (Qp) then is a monotone increasing function (monotonic increasingfunction), promptly when the value of Qp was big more, the value of function f (Qp) also will be big more, this moment h (Qp, C I, j-P I+x, j+y) will be important more for the influence of cost function value.As for function g (| C I, j-P I+x, j+y|), then be used for roughly calculating the current encoder block with respect to the candidate motion vector of this moment (x, the y) changing condition of the pixel difference value of the block that is corresponded to (distribution that has promptly reflected the residual value that is positioned at frequency field), when Σ i = i 0 i 1 Σ j = j 0 j 1 g ( | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | ) Value more little, usually (x y) can cause the residual value that calculates can reach compression efficiency preferably afterwards via the computing that the cosine conversion of loosing, quantification program, saw chi scan (or other the mode that scans) and variable length code or the like just to have represented this candidate motion vector of use.
With next enumerate function g (| C I, j-P I+x, j+y|) an example:
g ( | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | ) = | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | - ad _ max , if | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | > ad _ max , ( i , j ) &NotEqual; ( 0,0 ) ad _ min - | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | , if | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | < ad _ min , ( i , j ) &NotEqual; ( 0,0 ) 0 , else
As for ad_max and ad_min then shown in following formula:
ad _ max = | C 0,0 - P x , y | , if ( i , j ) = ( 0,0 ) max [ | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | , ad _ max ] , if ( i , j ) &NotEqual; ( 0,0 )
ad _ min = | C 0,0 - P x , y | , if ( i , j ) = ( 0,0 ) min [ | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | , ad _ min ] , if ( i , j ) &NotEqual; ( 0,0 )
In above-mentioned example, whenever one group (i, j) value correspond to function g (| C I, j-P I+x, j+y|) value calculated after, the value of ad_max and ad_min can be upgraded, with calculated for subsequent (i, combination j) correspond to function g (| C I, j-P I+x, j+y|) value the time use.
With size is that 2 * 3 block is an example, and (i1-i0)=2, (j1-j0)=3 if having only two candidate motion vectors in this Search Area, correspond to one first block respectively and unify second block at this moment; This current encoder block with respect to the absolute value of the first block of pixel difference be 8,9,6,8,7,6}, this current encoder block with respect to the absolute value of the second block of pixel difference be 5,10,4,22,0,0}.Use known technology with the computational methods of antipode summation as cost function, the cost function value that first block and second block are calculated can be respectively:
First block: 8+9+6+8+7+6=44
Second block: 5+10+4+22=41
So the time known technology can be with the most identical block of second block as this current encoder block.
Yet if use the computational methods of the foregoing description, suppose K=1, f (Qp)=1, the cost function value that first block and second block are calculated then can be respectively:
First block: [8+0]+[9+ (9-8)]+[6+ (8-6)]+[8+0]+[7+0]+[6+0]=47
Second block:
[5+0]+[10+(10-5)]+[4+(5-4)]+[22+(22-10)]+[0+(4-0)]+[0+0]=63
Clearly, use the account form that the foregoing description proposed, first block can be selected as the most identical block of this current encoder block, and this point has significantly different with known technology.
And if the use function g that the foregoing description proposed (| C I, j-P I+x, j+y|), cost function then proposed by the invention can abbreviation be:
CF ( x , y ) = &Sigma; i = i 0 i 1 &Sigma; j = j 0 j 1 | C i , j - P i + x , j + y | + K &CenterDot; f ( Qp ) &CenterDot; ( ad _ max - ad _ min )
Wherein ad_max and ad_min be respectively from (i, j)=(i0, j0) to (i, j)=(i1, j1) between | C I, j-P I+x, j+y| maximum and minimum value.
That is to say, use method of the present invention, an if candidate motion vector (x in this target picture, y) block that is corresponded to is with respect to the distribution of the pixel difference value of this current encoder block big more (difference that is in above-mentioned example between maximum and minimum value is big more), the resulting value of function that then assesses the cost also will be big more, and such block just is not easy selected the most identical block as this current encoder block.
